Markus, though months have passed, your loss is still with us.
olla hukassa
Everytime we walk on the bluffs and someone rides by with a big dog, or a green sports car tools by, and 1000 other memories .
Thank you for your friendship and inspiration
How could you leave us so soon? Who will make the 5 course dinners starting off with fresh cocktails now? Who will be able to tolerate Mojo and exercise him like you did? Your intuition and ability to build things from your “I have an idea” is absolutely remarkable. I knew you were the one for my sister when I met you – you could stand up to her and give it back to her. You always made comments that were brilliant and funny. I watched you talk to Yasmine and Kira with such grace and guidance. You were always so patient with them, and the dogs too (including my old crow – Bono). You let me stay at your house when my life fell apart and helped me get back up again. You also made me help with the basement, which I was not thrilled about, but now I know how to pour concrete. Coming home from the hospital and walking into your house was devastating – I saw you everywhere I went. I promise you that I will help take care of your family (fish, horse and dogs included). Eventually, we may even finish the basement, just not sure about shipping a sauna from Finland…….
Dear Jennifer and family, we were so very sad to hear of Markus’ passing. He was an amazing man, husband, father, and friend to so many. It is amazing how God put the two of you together and how beautiful your love and care for each other has been over the years. We will keep you and your family in our prayers and will ask for peace that passes all understanding. Sending our love all the way from Texas.
